Why should she be proud? She didn't get the gig cuz she's talented its cuz she knew the person running the event. Wow congrats, your connections bought you a career.
That only proves that in this industry it's all about knowing the right people. It turned out well at the end, but she got the gig without even knowing how to dj.
I know it’s all a joke but it feels like dev has really been doubting herself recently and I just want to say I really adore and love your content and music I think you are so uniquely whimsical and carefree and funny that it’s so refreshing and entertaining watching your videos and your music is sick. Please continue to do what makes you happy and don’t ever doubt yourself because you will slowly develop a cult fanbase I’m sure of it
You know how I figured out how to dj? I died. No joke. I died and suddenly the next day I knew how to dj. One day, couldn’t mix ice and water, next day? Professional level dj. True story, can’t explain it. Spent 4 years trying to learn how and suddenly I could just do it.
@@jennyhong6746 heroin overdose. Last day of my freshman year in college. My friend had a small habit, nothing was popping off (we thought people would be partying). We were already drunk and I was like “we need drugs… hold on, you have heroin!” She tried to keep the heroin on her side of the mirror, and crushed Excedrin on mine, but I saw the chunks and noticed she was nodding off, so I snorted the powder on her side. Problem is, I didn’t know how much to do… and I did an entire gram… while piss drunk. I went outside to smoke and my heart began to stop. My limbs got cold and my heart wasn’t pumping hard enough, so suddenly I couldn’t move my limbs. I had my friend beat the shit out of me because I thought that would help, and it did. But it only got back on my feet long enough to get me to my room. 3 girls took turns checking my pulse, and at one point all 3 were in the hallway, that’s when I died. I came to with my friend on my chest, fists in the air (as she was obviously banging on my sternum), and she said “20 more seconds and I was calling the cops to pick up your body.” I was so goddamn sick the next day, and eventually I thought music might make me feel better, so I started recording myself djing… and it was perfect. I still have it up on SoundCloud lol.
I can super relate to this. I am a 3D animator who was once hired by a local community hall to give a talk about .... well the people who hired me didn't say what they wanted me to talk about. They just, for some reason, wanted me to talk. In front of hundreds of boomer-age or older grandmas and grandpas who like to take weekend paint-along classes. I had no idea what to say to them, or what kind of thing they were expecting me to say. So I decided, hm, maybe I'll just do a presentation on the current state of technology relating to CGI and work it somehow into relating to using 3d printing to make arts and crafts. Anyway, I get here and I find out that they DO NOT HAVE INTERNET ACCESS IN THIS BUILDING. I can't access the internet, where most of the stuff in my presentation needed to be. Like youtube videos and stuff. It was a nightmare, and everything was horrible, and nobody knew what I was talking about, and I'm pretty sure I even told them that it's possible to 3D print a replica of Hugh Jackman at one point. They all clapped and said my presentation was amazingly informative and insightful. lol
an absolute rollercoaster, but think of this as a musical career fake out. make them think u arent a professional musician and then BAM show em how its done
You’ve got 170k monthly listeners on Spotify, plus a decent following on YT, so I wouldn’t say that “nothing is working” for you. Just keep doing what you’re doing, you made the numbers go from 0 to that, there’s no reason they can’t double, and then double again.
I'm a DJ too and I play your music all the time on my radio show. Gonna give the new single a spin on Friday. Speaking of transitions I've literally gone from 1950s Doo wop to Ghosted My Dentist before so it's all good Dev.
@@Babyteef Its called After Coffee and it's on Friday Mornings at 11 EST on a station called Radio Bristol. Theres an app and its streaming. It's a freeform show with a focus on 50s and 60s obscurities and new music that's different and fun.
I just discovered your music today. Im 54, and I feel like I just got a B-12 shot... or snorted a pixie stix. You guys are incredible. Just keep doing what you're doing.
As a DJ I actually love when artists take a stab at DJing as long as they give it a good effort! Lots of times it doesn't matter if you know how as long as your vibes are right
I see literally everything queef jerky does as a metacommentary on the way music is made and shared these days, which makes the fact that much of this you're doing almost entirely by accident and whim absolutely perfect, so great job.
I can't fckin believe you opened for Skrillex on your first gig. You put that on your resume and you'll start seeing more gigs coming your way lmao! amazing video xD
Give Mama A Hug is a certified classic! I've been playing it on repeat. Every new release is better than the previous and I don't even usually listen to this type of music :)
Props for getting on stage and performing in front of a whole room, that shit is nerve racking, especially when you don't feel fully ready. You're stronger because of that experience and you're just going to keep improving, so... props!
😭 nah this shit is hilarious, lucky ass hell you played in the sunny-always-happy west coast bc you’d get boo’d here in always-in-a-bad-mood east coast
Re: moral compass.... my favorite band in the world, "The Ex" from the Netherlands, because they signed up for a punk show in 1979 before any of them knew how to play instruments. They are STILL playing together and have invented whole sonic territories based on their fresh perspective toward sound. I didn't see the show, but I am sure many much more seasoned DJs actually learned from watching you try something new without any "prejudice" of formal training. You are 2 dang wicked awesome. You makd the world better by doing your thang!
Yeah like theres nothing quite like the crowd feedback when you're doing a show of a hurling hammer hitting you on stage to make you feel good about yourself hey. Idiot.
I don’t know? like I think it was kinda funny but it’s not good for like the security and the venue itself kinda just gives them a bad name.. I really hope they were also in on the joke I guess and were okay with the risk and stuff
if you don't make more music like give mamma a hug i will be devistated. pls don't listen to the haters, you're creating some really solid, more experimental and like electronic-pop-punk adjacent type music. pls just keep expressing yourself in your music how you feel like, it's making me feel really excited about music releases again.
Your moral compass is fine. You deserved to be there even if you bombed (which you didn’t do, people still had fun and that’s the most important thing). I love your music, found it through your RUclips when i didnt really watch you, and i really enjoy you as an artist. Be funny, be free, like it doesn’t matter because you love creating and you’re gonna continue no matter the opinion of others. Doubt is constant but the desire to create is unwavering. Ilysm your new song is so sick ❤
I have zero professional art experience but I think the whole thing is like how sometimes the context of the art is more important than the skill or technique. At first I was really nervous for you as you were talking about it all but then when you showed the actual video you actually killed it so much even when you touched the turntable because you made it make sense! It was very punk rock of you. I'm probably wrong but I feel like I can relate to your thoughts and for me it's like I doubt myself for reasons I don't understand and I try to get rid of it, but I think the doubt comes because the goals you have for your art and what you want to express and achieve require these experiences of doubt because you want to make brave music and if you were super certain and felt perfectly secure then it wouldn't be bravery anymore. In the end, you doing the set despite your doubts was putting your name out there and showing that you really do want this, and I think in doing this you have been growing your art to be just as bravely human as you! I think its like the whole thing is a process that we just can't understand when we're in the center of it but you're here experiencing these things because you put yourself in this position and you did that because you knew this would help you grow. Good art requires experience and the meaning of art is defined by the experiences imbued in that art and I think your art is like jazz as a modern lifestyle. Like how in jazz it's the notes that come after that make the previous ones sound good. You are so good at rolling with the punches and I've never seen anyone make the wild chaotic absurdness of human existence look so cool! I really love your art and I feel like you have already contributed so much to music and you have so much more to do! Please don't stop being you, you are too good at it 😭
@@hebedite4865 Why is this comment being liked when it's literally not true? The song is rated 4.01?? That screenshot was literally a joke. Maybe it was rating bombed and every negative rating or comment was deleted (which doesn't really happen without some "residuals"), but she's clearly not being impacted. Also I don't really care, but from what I understand it's a bit more than "stupid drama" with Nick.
I know a lot of musicians, we play instruments, and they always think DJ'ing is easy. Until I let them just try to just mix beats, and then they realize it's a skill of it's own.
Literally lost 36 of my friends in a rave 7 years ago and I’ve been waiting patiently for someone else to come along and sucker punch the rave straight in the face for me, thank you!! I excommunicated myself from the BS so you’re the next best thing.. it’s up to you boo! ❤️❤️❤️
I think it’s really cool that you and Nick did this. Like you learned how to DJ in a week and got a second gig from it and with actual time you’ll probably be able to do a really good job DJing and it will probably help with your music as well! It’s so sick that you got this opportunity and I think you accepting it could possibly change the trajectory of how people think of you and Nicks music!
At 13:36 There is a very complex spoonerism that I must address. "Lana Del (W)ay worked at the (R)affle house..." and I'm just impressed that your brain did that. Very neat.
Thank you Dev. Thanks to your inflationary usage in your videos now everyone and their mother is using the saying „everyone and their mother“ to describe something everyone and their mother is doing.
dev, youre so fucking inspiring bro i hope the self deprecation in the videos are purely for entertainment purposes because not many people could really put themselves out there like you are . never stop wanting it bro we gon GET IT
being able to take risks like that leads to so many more opportunities, i think it's crazy awesome that you were able to have this experience. i hope you keep trying new things without fear of failure because that's how you grow as a person
one peice of advice id love to give is dont overthink and just have fun touch buttons mess around with stuff make mistakes its all for fun especially if your new
Hi Dev! I'm pretty sure I'm an old fart that's not super in your target demographic and I don't have tiktok and only kinda uses youtube but I found your music as organically as possible (my baby cousin has Queef Jerky in her cheer routine playlist) and I can say I was smitten from the start. Music is art and the only bad music is the kind that doesn't make you feel a thing listening to it, and I definitely felt things. Hearing ya'll exuberantly and gleefully perform reminded me so much of being in my own little "shitty" ska and punk bands. Reminds me of going to $5 shows at the community center with kids banging on keyboards and screaming about capitalism. Reminds me of outsider music. It's joyus and human and who gives a lick if haters don'tget it. If there is love in the things you make you will always have a fan in me. ❤️
I LOVE that you tried it. You got the opportunity and just did it for fun and put time into learning it. I WISH I could do that. Life isn’t that serious, take opportunities and learn stuff
I’m actually really impressed you posted and shared all this. Not many people have the guts to do something for the first time this terribly and let everyone see the process. Honestly 100% sincerely respect it. Try things. Be bad at them. Keep going. And you were absolutely horrible.
Dev Lemons, Guessing Games is one of the greatest, most groundbreaking tracks of the last decade. Your music WILL get the recognition based sheerly on how deeply inspired it is , and it will be remembered as such. Give it time. New sounds take a whiiiiiiileeeee to be accepted by the masses.
this just came into suggestions randomly and I am just gobsmacked at this entire video - I am ENCHANTED and delighted to discover the existence of such an adorably kooky human being - this is pure joy and chaos. The "No he's NOHT" reaction was glorious, I've rewatched it several times & it is one of those things that will stick in my brain and pop up randomly & will always make me laugh. GOLD
Im a music producer and ex-gigging DJ/performer....and this is really how the scene is. Doesn't matter how much you grind, some people just find their way into opportunities that you would KILL for. Funny vid tho, keep it up!
I think this applies to anything in life, be it work, creative stuff, media or something else. Some people feel like an imposter even though they know everything about the subject, and they give up. But others, have no idea what they are doing, they are just giving it a chance and trying even if they know that it will suck - and they are the ones who will succeed in the long run
There's tons of stories in music history of ppl saying they can do something when they can't. Carole King learning how to write for string arrangements hastily at a Library so that the Temptations could record one of her songs, for example. Kudos for going for it. I still think you should ask yourself deeply 'why' you want to make it, and what that specifically looks like though. I think we'd like to know too. Blindly wanting to 'make it' is a toxic game, and if we don't know why you want it and what that goal looks like, we can't be as invested either. I left a big comment on your last video talking more in-depth about that sort of thing, how much blindly looking for fame fucked me up for a while, so I won't reiterate here. But good luck, and enjoy the journey :) think a lot less about 'how' and think more about 'why'. More being, less doing.
I am constantly impressed with your ambition, confidence and creativity. Like your ability to just get sh*t done. Which gives me faith that anything you want you will figure out how to get it. And as far as your moral compass goes I think asking that in the first place says your moral compass is fine. ❤
Mad respect. Idk which is greater, your talent, hilarity, or your ambition. I'm just glad to be getting all at once. Please keep it up, you inspire me 🙏
You asked for honesty so here you go: Girl you are everything. Nothing wrong with your moral compass, just living your best life and giving us all something to enjoy. True artist❤
can’t believe u keep getting hate for doing genuinely hysterical shit like this. people take music too seriously sometimes ig… love ya dev! keep being your absolutely insane self
bro, i just wanna say ,, i found your music by listening to a bunch of song radios from songs that i liked on spotify, and i got really hooked to your song "guessing games". Like, to the point that I would only listen to your song on repeat for a while bc it just sounded so good to me. Then I started to get into your "remaking songs" series and I thought your content was so funny and interesting, but then I got interested even more when I found out that you made 'guessing games' and its just ... AAA !!! its so crazy how some people can only see you as a content creator, when your music is so good
Regardless of what anyone is saying about your music I literally listen to “Give Mama A Hug” every week since it dropped; I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! The music, the production, the lyrics, everything babes. Keep on, keeping on
Omg! I have so many things to say about DJing! Firstly, I’m so proud of you for diving in and doing the dang thing! That takes some serious guts! 🙌🏼 I’ve been DJing for 17 years and I play exclusively on Traktor. I’ve gotten that text so many times of the “this is what we’ve got for gear” and I’ve always been like “thanks for the heads up, I’ll be using my Traktor controller and laptop!” So good on you for sticking with what you know! I don’t want to start any drama here, but I think Traktor is definitely the best 😜 Of course, it’s super good to learn on Pioneer as well (which I have, it’s just not my preference at all). Anyway, I just wanna say I’m proud of you!!! Keep it up! I promise it gets easier! And hey, I also teach, if you ever want to hit me up! But sounds like you’ve got a lot of great support already. Big ups to the aspiring DJ’s! ❤
I was there!! and tbh you definitely fooled me but I still enjoyed your set! I only wish I said hi to you :') I saw you guys offstage but I was nervous
next time you do a rave, you got to make it darker. nothing but black light and strobe, maybe one of those green confeti lazers. you wouldnt believe how important the lighting is to match the vibe at a rave
I am deceased. I literally almost fainted when you said Skrillex would also be playing lmao. The way it all casually fell into your lap, how could you NOT do it? haha I support 100%

queef jerky and skrillex at the same show is insane I dont think this event actually happened its a psyop

Literally lost 36 of my friends in a rave 7 years ago and I’ve been waiting patiently for someone else to come along and sucker punch the rave straight in the face for me, thank you!! I excommunicated myself from the BS so you’re the next best thing.. it’s up to you boo! ❤️❤️❤️
You’re crazier than a soup sandwich. It takes some serious je nesais quoi to get up there and own it, and I personally find that that’s amazing.
I think it’s really cool that you and Nick did this. Like you learned how to DJ in a week and got a second gig from it and with actual time you’ll probably be able to do a really good job DJing and it will probably help with your music as well! It’s so sick that you got this opportunity and I think you accepting it could possibly change the trajectory of how people think of you and Nicks music!
What when you put “I’m a self starter” on a resume looks like.
I swear to fnaf u are always inspiring me to make weirder art and put it out
Are you…12…
@@daniellemarincic458 i will get you
At 13:36 There is a very complex spoonerism that I must address. "Lana Del (W)ay worked at the (R)affle house..." and I'm just impressed that your brain did that. Very neat.
Thank you Dev. Thanks to your inflationary usage in your videos now everyone and their mother is using the saying „everyone and their mother“ to describe something everyone and their mother is doing.
“My friend Alice” and it’s ALICE FUCKING LONGYU GAO WHAT A FLEX
This is some Nathan Felder shit
dev, youre so fucking inspiring bro i hope the self deprecation in the videos are purely for entertainment purposes because not many people could really put themselves out there like you are . never stop wanting it bro we gon GET IT
being able to take risks like that leads to so many more opportunities, i think it's crazy awesome that you were able to have this experience. i hope you keep trying new things without fear of failure because that's how you grow as a person
one peice of advice id love to give is dont overthink and just have fun touch buttons mess around with stuff make mistakes its all for fun especially if your new
Actually glad u did this video cuz alotta ppl don’t think djs do shit.
Hi Dev! I'm pretty sure I'm an old fart that's not super in your target demographic and I don't have tiktok and only kinda uses youtube but I found your music as organically as possible (my baby cousin has Queef Jerky in her cheer routine playlist) and I can say I was smitten from the start. Music is art and the only bad music is the kind that doesn't make you feel a thing listening to it, and I definitely felt things. Hearing ya'll exuberantly and gleefully perform reminded me so much of being in my own little "shitty" ska and punk bands. Reminds me of going to $5 shows at the community center with kids banging on keyboards and screaming about capitalism. Reminds me of outsider music. It's joyus and human and who gives a lick if haters don'tget it. If there is love in the things you make you will always have a fan in me. ❤️
The transition from the first half of the nfl theme to the second half of the nfl theme was crazy good dj lemur
Do u have a timestamp 😭
@@glitchxmars7415it's in the mix at 8:39 ish, but my phrasing of it was a joke haha
Dev is in her trying new things arc and I'm here for it
I LOVE that you tried it. You got the opportunity and just did it for fun and put time into learning it. I WISH I could do that. Life isn’t that serious, take opportunities and learn stuff
if you think about it dev lemons basically collaborated with Bladee and Yung Lean now
I’m actually really impressed you posted and shared all this. Not many people have the guts to do something for the first time this terribly and let everyone see the process. Honestly 100% sincerely respect it. Try things. Be bad at them. Keep going. And you were absolutely horrible.
the queef out jerked the lemon. dev.
I actually like that mo bamba school boy transition lmao
Dev Lemons, Guessing Games is one of the greatest, most groundbreaking tracks of the last decade. Your music WILL get the recognition based sheerly on how deeply inspired it is , and it will be remembered as such. Give it time. New sounds take a whiiiiiiileeeee to be accepted by the masses.
this just came into suggestions randomly and I am just gobsmacked at this entire video - I am ENCHANTED and delighted to discover the existence of such an adorably kooky human being - this is pure joy and chaos. The "No he's NOHT" reaction was glorious, I've rewatched it several times & it is one of those things that will stick in my brain and pop up randomly & will always make me laugh. GOLD
I totes got myself booked by installing a pirate copy of virtual dj and asking a boy to show me how, this is the dream, you're living it
Im a music producer and ex-gigging DJ/performer....and this is really how the scene is. Doesn't matter how much you grind, some people just find their way into opportunities that you would KILL for. Funny vid tho, keep it up!
I think this applies to anything in life, be it work, creative stuff, media or something else. Some people feel like an imposter even though they know everything about the subject, and they give up. But others, have no idea what they are doing, they are just giving it a chance and trying even if they know that it will suck - and they are the ones who will succeed in the long run
There's tons of stories in music history of ppl saying they can do something when they can't. Carole King learning how to write for string arrangements hastily at a Library so that the Temptations could record one of her songs, for example. Kudos for going for it. I still think you should ask yourself deeply 'why' you want to make it, and what that specifically looks like though. I think we'd like to know too. Blindly wanting to 'make it' is a toxic game, and if we don't know why you want it and what that goal looks like, we can't be as invested either. I left a big comment on your last video talking more in-depth about that sort of thing, how much blindly looking for fame fucked me up for a while, so I won't reiterate here. But good luck, and enjoy the journey :) think a lot less about 'how' and think more about 'why'. More being, less doing.
I am constantly impressed with your ambition, confidence and creativity. Like your ability to just get sh*t done. Which gives me faith that anything you want you will figure out how to get it. And as far as your moral compass goes I think asking that in the first place says your moral compass is fine. ❤
Mad respect.
Idk which is greater, your talent, hilarity, or your ambition. I'm just glad to be getting all at once. Please keep it up, you inspire me 🙏
Don't let real DJs see this video😭😭😭😭
"zuck didnt make fb on wix" is the funniest thing anyones said this year
THE PART WHERE YOU TOUCH THE 3000 LMAOOOOO
Even if u fell off with music, you could do voice over work. You do have a distinct vocal signature that is naturally animated...
You asked for honesty so here you go: Girl you are everything. Nothing wrong with your moral compass, just living your best life and giving us all something to enjoy. True artist❤
can’t believe u keep getting hate for doing genuinely hysterical shit like this. people take music too seriously sometimes ig… love ya dev! keep being your absolutely insane self
Slide your music into sets. You deserve all the hype. You're insane. Love you huge
bro, i just wanna say ,, i found your music by listening to a bunch of song radios from songs that i liked on spotify, and i got really hooked to your song "guessing games". Like, to the point that I would only listen to your song on repeat for a while bc it just sounded so good to me. Then I started to get into your "remaking songs" series and I thought your content was so funny and interesting, but then I got interested even more when I found out that you made 'guessing games' and its just ... AAA !!! its so crazy how some people can only see you as a content creator, when your music is so good
knowing now that you know alice longyu gao is so sweet. that makes so much sense.
Regardless of what anyone is saying about your music I literally listen to “Give Mama A Hug” every week since it dropped; I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! The music, the production, the lyrics, everything babes. Keep on, keeping on
10:19 omg the second hand embarrassment i got from this. I was kicking and screaming! You're honestly such a legend!!
Omg! I have so many things to say about DJing! Firstly, I’m so proud of you for diving in and doing the dang thing! That takes some serious guts! 🙌🏼 I’ve been DJing for 17 years and I play exclusively on Traktor. I’ve gotten that text so many times of the “this is what we’ve got for gear” and I’ve always been like “thanks for the heads up, I’ll be using my Traktor controller and laptop!” So good on you for sticking with what you know! I don’t want to start any drama here, but I think Traktor is definitely the best 😜 Of course, it’s super good to learn on Pioneer as well (which I have, it’s just not my preference at all). Anyway, I just wanna say I’m proud of you!!! Keep it up! I promise it gets easier! And hey, I also teach, if you ever want to hit me up! But sounds like you’ve got a lot of great support already. Big ups to the aspiring DJ’s! ❤
8:40 It took me way too many listens to realize that's the actual NFL theme song 😂😂😂
I was there!! and tbh you definitely fooled me but I still enjoyed your set! I only wish I said hi to you :') I saw you guys offstage but I was nervous
so glad dev was here for comedic relief
Love to hear this. My current project is also out of my league, almost always is. Nice to see it might be a normal struggle
next time you do a rave, you got to make it darker. nothing but black light and strobe, maybe one of those green confeti lazers. you wouldnt believe how important the lighting is to match the vibe at a rave
it looked like a lot of fun!!! and the silly parts make it even better i would have loved being at the show
nice to see you and nick having fun.
Dev I think your brain should eventually be studied. You're such a lovable oddball
I am deceased. I literally almost fainted when you said Skrillex would also be playing lmao. The way it all casually fell into your lap, how could you NOT do it? haha I support 100%
